Overview
PEI-Genesis, a global leader in custom‑engineered interconnect solutions, announced on September 1 2026 the opening of a new production facility in Pune, India. The Pune plant began operations on July 1 2026 and has already shipped its first customer order, marking the company’s sixth production facility worldwide and its second in the Asia‑Pacific region after the Zhuhai, China site.
Facility Capabilities
The Pune facility provides value‑added assembly of Mil‑Spec circular MIL‑DTL‑38999 series connectors, certified to assemble D38999 Series Qualified Parts List (QPL) connectors.

CEO Steven Fisher stated that bringing value‑added assembly closer to customers will provide faster access to critical interconnect solutions and greater sourcing flexibility.
